Think the pics preceded the post.

Can anyone speak to the hot weather characteristics of these gloves.  Which would be better for perpetual sweaty weather?

I have been content to shoot the old Damascus gloves (mine has thin cordovan tips) for quite some time hunting.  However, I have been using the old metal plate tabs (cant remember their name) for my target and 3D stuff.  I like em.  I can switch back and forth easily.  I shoot 3 under.  I can agree, the tab gives me a better release.  Perhaps I should work on that.

I have always wanted to own one of those American Leather gloves but they just seemed too thick for me every time I tried one.

Thanks for the pics Charlie and everyone's input so far. The American leather gloves look really well made and long lasting. Might have to see if I can try one out somewhere to see if I would like it before I spent the money on one.

I've been shooting an American Leathers Big Shot glove on and off for several years and gotta say that it is hard to beat in my opinion. The nylon webbing overlay gives a very clean release and keeps the glove from wearing out. They offer very good protection from even moderately heavy poundage bows and the people at American Leathers are top notch and will help you with sizing.

I have had problems with leather gloves in the past creating a "squeak" when compressing the nock. I also found them to be somewhat bulky and less sensitive to feel as I'd like. And of course they need extra care if they get wet to remain supple.

Cody your squeak is in the quality of the leather you need to get some leather treatment to put on your gloves and that won't happen anymore regardless of the maker...... No need to down trod any maker because of a squeak because that is the way leather works and it's a quality of a great saddle but I'm sure you know nothing about saddles....

 Let's blame the squeak on the cheap plastic shall we ?

I've stopped using leather "treatments" on my gloves... or any other piece of leather gear with layers. "Oils" dissolve the contact glues that are commonly used.

I can't tell you how many different shooting gloves I've had in the last 60 years. Any noise coming from the glove against the nock is just the nature of leather. You can use an oil leather treatment to end it or what I've been doing is using talcum powder on my glove. It eliminates  any squeak and helps combat perspiration. It may also help with a smooth release.

Both Howard Hill and John Schulz powdered their gloves. For the smooth release but it would also kill the squeak.

Here is a Kangaroo crossover glove without the plastic inserts. John custom made this a couple weeks ago. He said he used the thicker Kangaroo also. It's still pretty thin although it protects the fingers better than the thicker buffalo glove I also have. It's a stronger leather. It's pretty incredible.

Charlie is right.  I have always used talc on my leather glove or tabs.  I guess its an old guy thing, right Charlie... LOL

Heck, several company's sold talc dispensers that field and indoor folks hung on their quiver belts.  They would give them a "tap" between arrows when and if they thought they needed it.

I actually used the 3D Dead Down Wind powder for boots on mine.  Get some scent elimination and powder affect as well
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Try some talc.  Little to no scent and after 50 years of use I dont think the deer mind a bit of perfume any way.  Its cheaper then some name brand, made for hunters  product.  Can you say "pool cue chalk"

What about a touch of coconut oil?  Rick recommends that for his tabs.

Big Jim had a good selection of American Leathers gloves at Cloverdale. That’s where I got myCrossover.

I just picked up one of Rick's tabs from him today.  It's a clean quiet release.  Hopefully I can master shooting with one.  At least for tournaments.
